Job description:
Hi!I’m Jean-Baptiste and I work at eFounders (see below “About eFounders”). For about 3 months, I'm the CTO for a new startup project we're working on. It's an online platform that's aiming to help people who have questions about software, so that they can find answers instantly. I’m looking for a web developer to help me build the platform written with Node, Rails, and Ember.The project’s goal is to provide instant answers to collaborators in SME who have questions about software they use on a daily basis. I know this description is a bit vague, but I can’t tell you more here because the project is not public yet. I will provide all the details when we meet (of course!). On a technological point of view, the project mixes real-time web, web apps, and embeddable widgets (in other words: a bunch of exciting new technologies and challenges).I can offer youYou will take part in a worldwide project aiming to change how people learn and use software. eFounders and I deeply believe that customer software services are flawed. When people have a questions about software, they spend too much time trying to solve it reading forums, calling customer support, or asking friends and colleagues. As a member of our team, you'll help our customers (freelancers and collaborators in SMEs) to find a solution to their software questions instantly. The software you will build will be used by people all around the world and will be translated into several languages.Your role will be to lead the development of the platform: front-end as well as back-end. To begin with, you'll familiarise yourself with our stack (Node, Rails, and Ember), the tools we use, and the APIs we consume (Git, Node-Wekit, WebRTC, WebSockets). You will use these tools on a daily basis by coding client-side and server-side.As the team will grow, you will have the opportunity to become the technical expert to whom people will refer. You will discuss software architecture, define coding best practices, review commits, propose new technologies able to tackle the many challenges we will face.As the first full-time developer on the project, you will have full access to all the codebase, servers, tools, …  You will review my commits just as I’ll review yours (two brains are more powerful than one).  You will deploy your code on production servers from day one.You will evolve in a startup environment (no suits required :) ) implying you will also do many other things than the job description (everyone does everything when needed). You will be part of a strong team who like to share ideas, chat, and have fun together. A competitive salary (depending on your skills and experience) We valueHard-work: we share a vision and we count on reaching it (even though we ensure everyone keeps a good work-life balance)Respect: everyone has their ups and downs, strengths and weaknesses - We are respectful of each other.Transparency: Do what you say and say what you doThe TeamThe best thing to get to know us better is to check our twitter accounts:Thomas (CEO): #URL_36dfe9cc7da631511f49f4cc6402cc8aa82bb462886807f26a18e0ee1f104b1a#Me (CTO): #URL_f33d32cc232621568db7ef7155fdc96663683324ff6e3fe2f2aabeb52a309e00#eFounders Team:Thibaud: #URL_7623a400b6da8932d17e61bf9886d751e40b3f4bd0fc04af824cf67cbf24139d#Quentin: #URL_367d174f324e50aebf1405ed73b00084253323687039d16296925dcd92dac841#Didier: #URL_f2f875cdbe25dc06a9dacebd19f40973600de5edc217fb22b339#PHONE_f0a19857123574c77571a41b5edf5a355d70c8e00cf156b888db0011e56dd305##Alex: #URL_f4a8fefd4b09fe9af45d411e351753293772bd6f15209acd24df0dc05b5dc1cd#YouYou have side-projects / pieces of code / open-source projects related to web developmentYou have 2-5 years of experience with an OO programming languageYou have 2-5 years of experience as a javascript developer (front-end or backend)You are proactive and you like challengesYou are demanding with yourself and with others (you don’t like half-assed work)You like to understand how things work and find root causes when problems ariseYou are fluent in EnglishPlusesYou have a Masters/Engineering degree in computer sciencesYou contribute to open-source softwareYou have experience with Node, Ruby and EmberYou have experience with scaling a websiteYou are fluent in FrenchThe PlaceThis position is open in Brussels or in Paris.Our offices are located in Brussels (Etterbeek) at ICAB and at the very heart of Paris (rue du Sentier).ApplyPush on the green button hereunder or drop me an e-mail #EMAIL_5f5a9aca37e17cb85198be811d6d27fc45d6cf21a046ca233167a2ab159956c7#About eFoundersIn a sentence, “eFounders is a startup which creates startups”. eFounders has been founded in 2010 by Thibaud Elzière (previously founder of #URL_d0c8fa28ba24cb23f3476e74243034a3828cf82709cb95e7a411ace273fb1203#) and Quentin Nickmans.
